the hands of dangerous people. "the washington post" would argue that the administration needs the nra because of the power, at least the perceived power it still has over members of congress and ultimately it going to be a vote to turn a bill into law. this is a friends close enemies closer strategy. while the white house and congress work to craft some sort of legislation on a national level, new york governor andrew cuomo wants his state to be the first to enact new gun laws in the wake of the shooting at newtown. today, he plans to propose a new restrictive assault weapons ban which would strengthen the state law already in place by covering more guns and magazines. new york one of seven states already has some sort of assault weapons ban in place. he's also looking at proposing expanding the use of mental health records and background checks and requiring recertification. we're back with more after the break. stay with us. going to do the young turks. i think the number one thing that viewers like about the

young turks is that we're honest. they know that i'm not bs'ing them with some hidden agenda, actually supporting one party or the other. when the democrats are wrong, they know that i'm going to be the first one to call them out. they can question whether i'm right, but i think that the audience gets that this guy, to the best of his ability, is trying to look out for us.

download my own story from the "l.a. times."com. i sometimes ask you to send me something. i figured out how to get it myself. >> how can i get the newspaper into the machine? >> the thing about the "l.a. times" is the actual paper quite often does not match what's on the web site. so she'll ask me for a story just like -- a keyword here and there. and i'm like -- you know, on page 7! >> there is no page 7. >> stephanie: next to where i clip the coupons and do the crossword. >> and because of rights issues, there are some op-eds that are in the paper but not online. it is a mess. >> it is right next to the burlington coat factory ad.

holmes' trial, the aurora shooting. you know this is the thing. it is not to politicize it but this is what happens when stuff fades, when you forget the horror of sandy hook and you just -- when you start to hear details of this kind of stuff it brings it all home again. that's why we cannot let this fade. you talk about mental health being an issue, how about the mental health issues the policemen are going to have that had to go into sandy hook first or the aurora theatre. colorado police officers testifying about what they found. that's the thing is they think oh, well don't talk about that stuff. it is politicizing it. it is not politicizing it. it is what is the reality of this? and you look at that guy. you're like how did that guy jared loughner, how did that guy get a gun? that's all of the background check you need. just look at him! anyway -- >> you're discriminating against the criminally crazy.

>> stephanie: i apologize -- i debated whether i should read some of it but it is on the paper and i'm sure a lot of people heard it and heard the testimony but this is the reality we're talking about. you remember that was the first thing we said, chris about sandy hook, imagine what the police officers saw. that's what that looked like. >> i can't imagine. >> stephanie: two veteran police officers were first to arrive at the movie theatre. monday they described the carnage. these are 20 year cops who have seen everything that are crying openly in court because they're having to recount what they remembered most was the blood. there was so much of it. aurora police officer grizzell said some people were crawling for safety. with a waiver voice he slipped on something slick only later realizing it was blood. officers described victims shot in the face. some of the wounded were so badly hurt, it was impossible to tell their gender. this is a reality of this kind of military assault weapon. this is what mcchrystal was saying. grizzell recounted how he sped

people to the hospital in his police car. there was so much blood in the car, he could hear this slosh. at times officers broke down on the stand yesterday. i'm not going to read all of the details. one woman told him -- somebody handed him a 6-year-old girl. she's got no pulse. rushing the mother to the hospital who was shot in the face and the chest. i mean is this the america we want? when you go to the movies? >> some people. >> stephanie: when your kid goes to first grade? one woman told him during a hostile interview she felt a burning sensation on her side. when she looked down, she saw her internal organs spilling out and she caught them. she survived. grizzell told of rushing someone who had been shot in the face. the officer testified he yelled in the backseat don't you [ bleep ] die on me. the words seemed to help him rally. he survived with a brain injury. i think you've gotta look at the reality of this. when you think about it.

-- >> but the gun nuts would say if only they had been armed then everything would be fine. >> stephanie: right. in a crowd dark theatre. if only there had been more people shooting wildly and trying to -- they were even saying when they caught him, a lot of officers thought he was a s.w.a.t. member because he was armed. he was dressed like a s.w.a.t. -- who knows who's who? >> he had better body armor. >> stephanie: incredible. 19 minutes after the hour. right back with more on all of this. we continue on "the stephanie miller show." >> announcer: the only place in america where dissent is still allowed. it's "the stephanie miller show." guts. glory. ram. the new ram 1500. motor trend's 2013 truck of the year.

angry white male, typically from middle america that loves their guns they believe government conspiracy, these are the same kind of people that got the weber family in northern idaho killed back in the 1980s. these are the same kind of people that are the reasons why these things are really popping up. people like alex jones should be banned off the air because they're a threat to america. >> stephanie: i think it was a public service to see him. that was frightening to watch. >> you sit back and think about it i didn't mean to cut you off. what piers morgan did, he exposed what is underneath this issue when it comes to the gun issue and he exposed what i see as an american in parts of my state that are mostly rural working class white. the fending of the guns. if the government comes down here and tells me which guns i can and can't have, i'm going to start shooting like the okay,

corral. what about your children? what about your kids? oh, they'll be armed too. >> stephanie: yeah, i know. >> fantasy the government is coming to get you and if they do, you're going to shoot back. the government can turn you into a little spot of nothing. >> have a drone fire a missile into your house if they really wanted to get you. it doesn't matter how many guns you have. >> stephanie: they want the beyond thunderdome. then the nra's position is we all need tanks. we all have a right. drones. why not? >> scalia thinks that's a conversation you need to have. >> stephanie: right. i think everybody needs to be on the table. no moron. >> clarence thomas doesn't think any conversation is one to be had.

he never says anything. >> what he said. >> stephanie: right. i was saying things that are helping, things that are not helping. here in l.a. one big buyback program brought in 2,037 firearms. that's good. in san diego gun owners traded more than 350 weapons for grocery vouchers. i'm just saying, there are a million ways to try and get at this problem. the president -- we need to begin. >> obama: we're not going to get this done unless the american people decide it's important. and so this is not going to be simply a matter of me spending political capital. one of the things that you learn now having been in this office for four years is the old adage of abraham lincoln. with public opinion there's nothing you can't do and without public opinion there's very little you can get done in this town. so i'm going to be putting forward a package and i'm going to be putting my full weight behind it. >> stephanie: yeah. if you saw the movie "lincoln,"

that's what everybody told him. this is not possible. the -- i'm blanking on the whatever. you know what i'm saying. >> abolishing slavery. >> stephanie: what he wanted to do legislatively at the same time the war was going on. he did get it done. i think when you have people as powerful as gabby giffords and general mcchrystal making a lot of the same points, i'm hoping it will become like gay rights. it is not a partisan issue anymore. guess what. there are democrats and republicans that are victims of the horrible violence. we should post that story the "l.a. times" story. read the descriptions of what the police saw when they walked into the aurora theatre. tell me if that's the kind of america you want to live in. let's go to tina in aurora, colorado. hey, tina. >> caller: hi. so you guys have been talking about everything other than the real problem. and the real problem is the nra.

the nra will destroy any politician that goes up against them. they will look for any loophole in any law. >> stephanie: tina, their reign of terror, if nothing else, i think is over. i grant you they're very powerful but you know what? they're freaking out that we're even having this conversation now which they had shut down for so many years. >> caller: i understand that. but i still think that the best course of action would be a class action suit involving everyone like here in aurora or in newtown connecticut or in washington state where these disasters happen. against the nra. because if there is a class action suit against them, then it goes into the law books that -- >> stephanie: i'm sure there are some lawyers listening tina, that can tell us the viability of that. again, i think almost every idea except really dumb ones should be on the table. karl in nashville. you're on "the stephanie miller

show." do you need my help finding the "l.a. times" thing? i'm good at this now. >> i'm look for it. >> stephanie: go ahead karl. hi karl. >> caller: hey, guys. hey, steph, how do youing? happy new year by the way. >> stephanie: what's that? >> caller: happy new year. >> stephanie: happy new year to you too. go ahead. >> caller: one, did i my own little poll testing of people i'm around every day. i gave my question to 12 or 13 people. they if know -- the question was where is the d.c. sniper. and all of those people that i asked, they did not know the man was executed in 2009. they had no idea. thought he was locked up. and i just find it curious that in this country if you're black and you commit mass homicide, you are put down like a mad dog but if you're white in some ways, you're found crazy and you never get executed. you just get locked up. number two i think that what we

need to do in this country one of the tools in the toolbox we can use and there are plenty of them is that we're very quick to show pictures of mangled bodies in syria egypt anywhere. i think we need to show the young guy the 17-year-old get shot in the head on the street corner of st. louis new york, d.c. chicago wherever. >> stephanie: karl i think there are -- you know, obviously standards but that's why -- i thought i don't even know if reading it was graphic if they have kids in the car. people, we kind of like whitewash what it is. >> caller: we're so desensitized to that type of thing and we've been protected. we need to show people these idiots and say it is not even a big caliber. we need to show these people the

damage that bullets do. to bodies. >> stephanie: this is why sandy hook changed things. didn't you have to see the pictures to imagine what a 6-year-old shot by a military assault weapon at close range looked like. and what those policemen must have experienced. >> caller: unfortunately, you still have these idiots who get on air to say -- that will say that bullet is not as big as any other. really? stand in front of one of them and let's see how you take that bullet. >> stephanie: exactly. all right. i follow you. it sounded dirty when he was started saying, he had started doing some personal poll testing of the people around him. it was a very good point. >> that story is now posted on your facebook page.

feller. obviously we've been talking all morning, representative about some powerful voices obviously starting to chime in on the gun debate. it is not just the white house talking about it and joe biden. your former colleague gabrielle giffords general mcchrystal. do you get a sense that we really could get something done this time? >> i do think we can get something done. i'm a little bit wary of trying to put together a big punish. this is something i'm going to try -- i'm on a task force in the house that mike thompson from california is in charge of. the more stuff you throw into a package like this, the more you put -- risk putting poison pills in there. an excuse to vote against it. i'm one of those who thinks background check has the best chance. it would probably be the most effective thing we can do. let's put that out there. we could consider the other pieces and maybe not necessarily tie them all together.

>> stephanie: you know, congressman, it is interesting you say that. i'm obviously the biggest gun control advocate out there is. i'm not a congressperson but i was just thinking that yesterday. i thought it seems like this is such a volatile, emotional issue. why can't we get one thing done at a time that everybody can agree on. if you make it a big package they're going to -- nra is going to freak out. everybody's going to -- even red state democrats are going to freak out. i agree with you. it seems like there are so many reasonable things we could get done one at a time. >> requiring background checks at gun shows. >> the background checks, 74% of nra members support that. over 80% of the population overall supports that. let's get that done. if you throw in, for instance, the national gun registry, the idea that's been floated that, will freak every nra member out. >> stephanie: yeah. >> whether it is justifiable or not, i happen to think it's a good idea. that's going to guarantee -- that would guarantee any one

piece of legislation would fail. so let's do the things that are do-able. show that we can actually legislate. and since the background check again, the most effective approach to reducing gun violence. >> stephanie: congressman you're right. we didn't get into this mess overnight. we're not going to get out of it overnight. i'm looking at our march on gay rights. it has been sort of one victory at a time over time as we've moved forward. so i agree with you on that. i think the fact that we're having the conversation and the white house and vice president biden are really being vocal about it is important. >> absolutely. the other thing i think -- the universal background check that makes a national statement and it's not necessarily a good idea for everybody to have a gun. and i think that's an important statement for us to make. this is not just something that should be part of everybody's life. >> we don't let blind people drive.

restrictions on guns of some kind. >> stephanie: i'm looking at a headline as we're talking. just when you thought chris christie couldn't kick off the republicans, christie said he's willing to talk about gun laws. you gotta have like reasonable people on every side of this issue. that's what i was saying, you know i think like gay rights, i was saying last hour, congressman, i don't think this should be a partisan issue. there are democrats and republicans and their children killed in every one of the mass shootings, right? >> exactly right. you know, when i made the statement i made a few weeks ago, the monday after the shooting at newtown and a lot of people thought i was going to get a lot of negative pushback. i got almost none. i got reinforcement from republicans and democrats and i think you're absolutely right. this isn't partisan. these are parents. normal americans concerned about the safety of their families. >> stephanie: absolutely. >> that's all it is. >> stephanie: the solution for
